Winemaking
This is our first estate wine. We wanted to blend a complex yet light and beautiful wine by combining the traits of the individual vineyards. The 9 different Furmints were fermented and aged in various sized barrels (2.2 hl, 4 hl and 5 hl) and kept on fine lees for around 6 months. We are offering the last 96 bottles of the 3000 wines bottled at Auction in two lots of 48.
Wine tasting
“This 2006 Furmint is a unique and rare lot. Producers were able to harvest ripe and healthy grapes with superb acids of this vintage. Our producers would like to show the exceptional qualities of the wine region through an increasing number of such lots in which the traces of longer aging can be felt in the wines.
The nose of this Furmint is clearly all about tertiary aromas. Subtle tobacco, wet leaves and cedar mix with a defined spiciness. Clear character, strong contours. Excellent balance, mature notes, with long and substantial finish.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
